A Happy Client and New Baby
Cathy O’Bryant is a CPM and LDEM and has been practicing for over 20 years. Currently, she has attended over 600 women in childbirth. She has experienced amazing things over the course of her career in midwifery, and currently operates Enlightened Birth Midwifery Services located in Payson, Utah.
Cathy offers her clients in the Utah Valley area the option of birthing in the comfort of their own home, and she also has privileges at the beautiful birth center, BellaNatal, in Orem, Utah.
Enlightened Birth Midwifery Services offers all of their clients the option of birthing in the water. Waterbirth has been found to ease pain of childbirth and help the mother relax.
From Enlightened Birth’s website, Cathy’s philosophy:
I believe birth to be a natural physiological process and not a medical phenomenon.
My style of midwifery is non-interventive. I encourage and support the laboring woman to make choices surrounding her birth. I feel that in most cases she intuitively knows what is best for her and her baby. I respect this knowledge and always support her desires providing they are within safe limits.
I believe that homebirth and care from a Certified Professional Midwife can be of the highest quality and in most cases of the same caliber as other health care providers. I believe that homebirth isn’t for everyone, but that homebirth should be available as a childbirth alternative for those who desire it. I do not believe that homebirth is risky, providing that the mother is in good health and has researched the subject extensively, until she feels comfortable with her decision.
Enlightened Birth Midwifery Services, located in Payson, and serving the surrounding areas, is another choice in maternal health care in Utah.
